The opposite of emotional dysregulation is not just staying calm but involves self-expression. Being regulated means effectively and appropriately communicating in various situations. It’s about having a sense of power, choice, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges. A regulated system allows a full range of emotions, helping us thrive and return to baseline when needed. Unhealed systems may struggle with this clarity and healing is essential.
Coherence, often seen as systems working together, can also include moving from a frozen state to expressing trapped energy during healing. Stress, when managed appropriately, can contribute to alignment and growth. Self-expression, regulation, and empowerment lead to a connected and empowered life. So, it’s not just about being calm; it’s about effectively navigating life’s ups and downs while staying true to yourself.
